17. With ‘Chaos’ armband, Halmstad, Sweden, 15 July 1977. The jacket’s from an old demob suit, with a pair of leather pants. It was always mix
and match with me, I was never coiffeured by Vivienne Westwood.

18. Les Deux Magots cafe, Paris, 4 September 1976. I think that’s Nora’s beret. It’s a ladies cap, worn in a jaunty beret way. That caused
some friction with the band, who thought I was being dangerous.

19. At Heathrow Airport, September 1976. It was fun going through customs with them upside down Nazi badges and crucifixes. I’m hardly supporting
these regimes, am I? It’s one of Vivienne’s original bondage jackets, before she thought, ‘Ooh, I could mass produce them…’

20. At Wessex Studios during the Never Mind The Bollocks sessions, 26 April 1977.

21. It wasn’t me, ossifer! Stopped by Police, Westbourne Grove, 23 May 1977.

22. Sex Pistols live at Stokvishal, Arnhem, Holland, 8 December 1977. The display on the wall was all about the battle there in the Second World
War.

23. Outside Malborough Street Magistrates Court, March 11th 1977 after receiving that stupid fine for amphetamine possession. I was really angry with
Malcolm for turning up without the money. That’s his lawyer Steve Fisher at the back. Between them, they couldn’t raise 40 quid.

24. Onstage during the evening show at our legendary Christmas Day ’77 gig at Huddersfield Ivanhoes. I actually remember making that face!

25. With Sid Vicious on the tour bus, on the catastrophic Sex Pistols American tour, 8 January 1978. We always did talk, even then.

26.
(l-r)
Steve Jones, Sid Vicious, me, Paul Cook up against a wall, as we were often photographed, in Dryden Chambers, off Oxford Street, London 14
April 1977. It was for a German magazine called
Ohr
. When everyone was accepting the punk clichés, I thought, ‘Well, fuck that’ and went off into Teddy Boy
world.

27. On Hellshire Beach, Jamaica, with U-Roy, February 1978. There’s some smoke tapering out of my mouth. I can’t imagine what that is.

28. With underpants, Gunter Grove roof, 1978. Some kind of bandit, that is!
